Garden waste

Garden waste is collected weekly, either in green wheeled bins or in brown garden waste sacks.

We are no longer issuing garden waste licences for 2017-2018

The garden waste collection service costs:

£30 for an annual garden waste wheeled bin licence OR

£30 for supply of 50 brown garden waste sacks

There is a 50% discount for householders who receive housing benefit or council tax support.

The garden waste wheeled bin licence is valid from 1 April to 31 March. We do not provide a refund if you move away during the year or wish to cancel further collections. All wheeled bins remain the property of Cotswold District Council.

If you are a new resident, you may also need to register with us for council tax and to vote.

You can buy brown paper garden waste sacks from the Council offices in Cirencester and Moreton-in-Marsh and cost £30 for 50 or £1 each.

Garden waste collections

Remember:

Cotswold has a closed bin lid policy so your bin should be presented at the kerbside by 7am on your collection day with the lid firmly closed.

black bags will not be collected - any excess that won't fit in to the bin must be contained in Cotswold District Council brown paper sacks and placed at the side.

to ensure bins are visible from the roadside and placed in a safe place.

to retrieve your bin from kerbside by 6pm on the day of collection.

You can check your collection day by using My Cotswold.

If you are unable to move your garden waste wheelie bin or brown garden waste sack(s) to the front of your property you can arrange an assisted collection.
